External homing button

[corydoras]

Hi
I used to have a external button to trig "ref all home", but it seem to have been messed up.

Anyone care to look at this script to see if it looks sensible?

If IsActive (input4) Then
DoButton( 24 )
DoButton( 23 )
DoButton( 22 )
DoButton( 25 )

 End If 

   
This is written under "ref all home" button on page one.
Input4 is configuret under ports and pins with the correct input number.

Best reg

Or any other easier way to do a ref all home on a input pin??

I have not been doing much cnc or mach stuff in a year or so

If you have access to your keyboard near the machine, you can just press the HOME key.



Don't know if this is what you want but work for me.

You would need that script in the macropump.
I use Scott Schaefers Mach Mad plugin for things like that as well rather than using the macropump.

But It will be interesing to see what the plugin can do.
I am thinking of getting one of these Pokeys usb 55 cards for more external I/O´s.
